Description:	The amount of day lighting through internal layers of apartments of the city of Tehran has significantly decreased. This is due to the lack of space and windows area. The main problem that this thesis is focused on is this lack of day light that has created shadow zones in central parts of the plan due to the improper access to the natural light. The increase of urban intensity of each neighborhood has caused the daylight accessibility of each building to generate from only one or sometimes two facades. This limitations effects the central parts of the plan as mentioned, which are mostly public areas, and thus ruins the spatial quality and functions of these spaces. However, through all historic durations there is a rich architectural heritage in which the lighting problems in contemporary apartments could not be solved. The objective of this thesis is to gain day lighting strategies to increase the natural luminance level contemporary houses. Comparing traditional architecture of Iran with the contemporary one and applying new strategies, which is in concord with Iran’s culture and climate, are the main focus of this study. Application of transparent elements and creating transparent spaces between public and private areas in order to allow the day light penetration to the internal layers is one of the solutions. Separation of public and private spaces in some plans can help these spaces to increase their daylight level. Because those spaces can transform to transparent spaces that are public and supplying the privacy is not a concern. Due to the requirement of privacy, transparency cannot include the private spaces. These elements are new designs of traditional transparent elements, which are placed in proper space in contemporary buildings. This research analyze traditional architecture of Iran and day-lighting strategies that were successfully used. A further analysis of contemporary architecture of Tehran, which are the current problems are also shown and discussed,Jumlah cahaya siang yang melalui lapisan dalaman pangsapuri bandar Tehran telah menurun dengan ketara. Ini adalah disebabkan kekurangan ruang dan susunannya yang bermasalah. Kekurangan cahaya kini telah mewujudkan zon bayangan di bahagian tengah pelan terutamanya di zon awam, disebabkan oleh akses yang tidak wajar bagi cahaya tersebut. Peningkatan intensiti bandar setiap kejiranan telah menyebabkan akses cahaya bagi setiap bangunan menjana hanya satu atau dua fasad sahaja. Batasan ini mempengaruhi bahagian tengah pelan itu seperti yang dinyatakan, kebanyakannya adalah kawasan awam, dan dengan itu mempengaruhi kualiti dan fungsi ruang ini. Melalui semua jangkamasa bersejarah Iran, yang kaya dengan warisan senibina, hanya menyelesaikan masalah pencahayaan oleh unsur-unsur pencahayaan yang berbeza. Objektif tesis ini adalah untuk mengaplikasikan strategi cahaya siang bagi meningkatkan tahap luminasi semula jadi rumah kontemporari. Membandingkan senibina tradisional Iran dengan satu kontemporari menggunakan strategi baru, yang berada dalam konteks budaya dan iklim Iran, akan menjadi hasil utama kajian ini. Menggunakan unsur-unsur yang telus dan mewujudkan ruang telus antara awam dan swasta, cahaya siang dapat menembusi lapisan dalaman yang boleh menjadi salah satu penyelesaian di samping menyusun semula susunan ruang rumah, dan perubahan penempatan fungsi-ruang ke arah cahaya siang. Kaedah kajian ini merupakan kajian kes untuk menjalankan penyelidikan kualitatif. Pengaplikasian soal selidik di kalangan penduduk kejiranan Tehran di bandar Tehran adalah metodologi kajian, yang menunjukkan masalah pencahayaan pangsapuri.,Master
